Priceline Pharmacy in particular is keen to get people in the doors, offering discount vouchers to everyone who gets vaccinated.

The offer is humble, with $5 off a future purchase and holds a dual purpose of incentivising the vaccine and assisting with sales.

Michael Yang, a pharmacist at Priceline, said that "The vaccine doesn't cost you anything but you can come in and might buy something."

Mr Yang was keen to see more people come in to get the jab, but added that he was pleased to see momentum building.

"We have seen people book online and then we have people just walking in. It's definitely picking up," he said.

He said that walk-ins were manageable but it was usually more convenient to book online.

"Someone who really wants to get it, we can try and find a spot for them."

Pharmacies are currently only able to distribute the AstraZeneca vaccine, while the more popular Pfizer vaccine is available from specialised vaccination clinics across the areas.

The Pfizer vaccine is currently available at the Griffith Base Hospital at 1 Noorebar Avenue, Kookora Surgery, Griffith Medical Centre and the respiratory clinic. AstraZeneca is available at most pharmacies.
